The Prince of Peace Catholic Schools; Pope John XXIII Elementary (PreK-6) and Shawe Memorial Jr/Sr High School (7–12 grades), a ministry of Prince of Peace Parish, is proud of its Catholic identity. Catholic education has been a vital ministry of the Prince of Peace Parish for over 170 years and these schools share a strong Catholic identity within the Madison community. Both schools are unique as being the only Pre K- High Catholic School supported by one parish within the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. As a parish community and school, Shawe Memorial and Pope John XXIII strive to promote spirituality, provide opportunities for service for both parents and students, teach social justice, and strengthen the faith life of its students. The administration, faculty and staff work diligently to develop and promote Catholic values in all students from preschool through High School. Maintaining the Catholic identity is at the core of the school’s mission.
